Title: Apparatus for the selection of coded elements filed at random
IPC: G06K21/02
Filed: 1966-03-08
Abstract: 1,141,861. Selective punching apparatus. RANDOMATIC DATA SYSTEMS Inc. 8 March, 1966 [9 March, 1965], No. 10040/66. Heading B4B. [Also in Division G4] Card selection apparatus includes a set of selector bars engageable with the notched edges of a stack of cards, the selector bars also having interposers associated therewith which may be used for notching a new card under control of the keyboard. Selector bars are arranged in five groups of six, two out of each five corresponding bars in the groups being actuated for each of six digits in the code representing the desired card or cards. Five solenoid actuators 74, Fig. 15, are mounted on a carriage 80 and are initially aligned with the first selector bar in each group. The pressing of a key momentarily actuates two of the solenoids 74 to move associated cam plates 70 to the left, thereby lifting shoulders 64 of the aligned selector bars 48 clear of latch bar 62 and allowing the bars 48 to move to the left under spring action. In moving to the left the selected bars 48 ride over cam shaft (56), Fig. 4 (not shown), and are thus raised to the operative position. A solenoid 99 is energized momentarily at the same time as the selected actuator 74 and on release of this solenoid, pawl 90 is actuated to allow carriage 80 to advance by one tooth of ratchet 88 so that actuators 74 are then aligned with the second selector bar 48 in each group. Selection of five further pairs of selector bars 48 proceeds in a similar manner; alternatively a space may be keyed so that carriage 80 is advanced one step without energizing any of actuators 74. The carriage 80 is returned to its original position at the correct time in a card selection cycle by a bell crank 94 which is rotated anticlockwise by an extension 163 on the lift bar operating mechanism. Card notching mechanism, Fig. 13.-A new card 37 is inserted into slot 320 and the desired code is keyed in as described in connection with the setting of the selector bars 48, whereby the selected bars 48 and their associated interposers 304 are moved leftwards to the position shown. Punches 296 are biased upwards by spring wires 298. To perform the punching operation, handle 318 is depressed to lower bar 312, the latter operating a switch to start a motor cycle. When, in the course of this cycle, the bars 48 are reset, the selected interposers slide beneath bar 312 and are cammed downwards thereby to effect punching of the card.
